The description says "Quantanium nonstick cooking surface" but does not say "hard anodized". Cuisinart has other pans that say both. Compare?

these pans are stainless steel and this surface is ceramic of some type. aluminum can be anodized but I don't think you can anodize stainless steel, saying that the " quantanium" surface is superior a Teflon based coating.

The cooking surface is made of hard anodized non-stick. On the box it says BPA Free,(non-toxic) and it's also in the description on the Cuisinart website. That was a big concern for me also. They really should have included BPA Free in the product description on Amazon.

The Oneida website calls it aluminized carbon steel. It is very heavy gauge. I don't know what the non-stick surface is, but it works very well. I have not used it for cookies, but I have used it for pizza and the baked cheese that falls off just slips off the pan. I am very happy with it.

The packaging does not specify. It definitely has a coating, but I'm not sure what it is. It just says non-stick surface. I'm sorry I can't be of more help.

I believe that the "non-stick" material is some other kind of non-stick coating Cuisinart does not specify. However, Teflon is a registered trademark of DuPont and the original patents expired a long time ago. So the coating could very well be "Teflon." It does seem to scratch easily, but the device does do an excellent job. We're happy with it.

Yes It is hard anodized Aluminum with a Titanium based coating. I love my set. Economical and works well, good heat distribution.

Yes, this West Bend #84866 is lined with a non-stick coating. According to the instruction manual, it is simply referred to as "non-stick finish."I also have a Rival Crockpot, which I use a lot, that is NOT coated with Teflon or Teflon-like coating.

Anodized aluminum is naturally non-stick, as well as preventing migration of aluminum into food. Or so I've read. This looks like a great kit for the current sale price of half off.

I hear cast iron is good but I am not a fan of them. I love the Calphalon non stick anodized. Cooks evenly and is a great product!

On mine the nonstick coating is just on the inside. Outside I would assume is hard anodized from the way it looks. By the way I love mine!

I wish I could help you. Truthfully, I'm retired, live alone, do not have a dishwasher, wash all my "things " by hand, and lastly, have not used the pan as of yet. I got it for a back-up in case the "Tod English Green Pan", I'm using, starts to chip. I have some other hard anodized smaller skillets, I've used, and I like them. I hope this helps.

Oddly, yes this set has teflon. Yes it's hard anodized, but in store it displays that as an outer layer. The inside non-stick layer is still Teflon. I don't understand this either, I thought hard anodized was superior to teflon pans, but this does contain teflon. I can't verify online, but there's another reviewer who can confirm. It's "long lasting teflon": http://reviews.costco.com/2070/11485000/kirkland-signature-kirkland-signature-15-piece-hard-anodized-aluminum-cookware-set-reviews/reviews.htm#BVRRDisplayContentReviewID_20710751

I own 9 x 2 inch pans from Fat Daddio's and Magic Line. The Magic Line pan is not anodized. It has brushed aluminum sides and a shiny finish on the bottom.

Mine is stainless steel. There is no nonstick coating to speak of. It's not like a coating you might find on a pan or pot, it's simply stainless steel. With a little oil, I have had no issues.

Hi Dibyendu, This is a real Hard anodized kadai. Something better than Calphalon. I would recommend this over Calphalon, since it is designed keeping Indian cooking in mind.
